Sculpfun Rotary Attachment for Laser Engravers
A rotary attachment, also known as a rotary axis, is an accessory designed to consistently rotate a cylindrical or conical object. This allows laser engravers to mark or engrave its surface consistently.
Rotary tools are generally divided into roller and chuck rotary options. The roller is better suited for clamping straight cylinders such as tumblers and glasses. While the chuck uses rotating jaws to secure narrow or special-shaped items like pens and tubes.
To accommodate a wide variety of cylindrical engraving tasks, Sculpfun has released the RA Pro Max, which includes both a rotary roller and a chuck.

FAQs
A laser engraving machine is a device that utilizes a focused laser beam to remove material from surfaces, creating permanent marks or designs on various materials. This technology is widely used for applications such as industrial marking, signage, personalization, art and craft, prototyping, and fabrication.
CO₂ lasers use a gas mixture to emit light at wavelengths of 9.6–10.6 μm, making them ideal for engraving non-metallic materials like wood, acrylic, and leather.
Fiber lasers employ a solid-state source to produce 1.06 μm light, excelling in marking metals such as stainless steel, aluminum, and brass with high precision.
Diode lasers rely on semiconductor diodes to generate shorter wavelengths (445–950 nm), suitable for engraving wood, leather, plastics, and some coated metals. Sculpfun specializes in diode lasers for DIY and small-scale projects.
Infrared (IR) lasers (typically 1064 nm) are another solid-state option, often used for marking metals and jewelry at lower power (1–2W), though slower than fiber lasers.
Each laser type has unique strengths and material limitations. To overcome these, Sculpfun introduced dual-laser machines (diode + IR), significantly expanding the range of processable materials.
